Several reasons; they control who can and cannot append their blockchain; they can decide varying levels of control (i.e. who is in charge of what tasks within managing their blockchain); they also can control how much is visible to their customer or competitors for that matter.

  1. Blockchains allow for increased trust between parties, and instant access to relevant information.

  2. Permissionless means parties have the ability to submit transactions on the network, or contribute to the networks security by running nodes, mining, or staking operations without having to ask anyone for permission.

  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

  4. Only approved entities within a company or association have the ability to run nodes on permissioned blockchain networks. They can also validate transaction blocks, execute smart contracts, and read through the transaction history.

  5. A permissioned blockchain allows companies to store their data in a way that is more immutable and secure than traditional databases, while still giving them more privacy and control compared to what a decentralized blockchain could offer.

  1. Eliminate the need to rely on a third party to facilitate the said transfer. It provides a trust layer that did not exist until now, for all types of transactions – as all members of the network have access to the same information via the ledger.
  2. Decentralisation, Transparency, Incentives, public
  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Matic.
  4. Only approved people or approved computer entities.
  5. Could be controlled, Require permission, use trusted nodes, governance.

  1. It provides trust between parties so that a third party is not needed
  2. It refers to the type of the blockchain: if the blockchain can be accessed by every user or node without anyone’s approval, then the blockchain is called permissionless or public. If access is monitored by a central authority (owner of the blockchain), then the blockchain is private.
  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS
  4. Only users or nodes that have been granted the access
  5. The blockchain can be tailored to the company’s specific needs. More control over data by selecting which person can participate and by defining who can see some kind of data.

  1. What benefits do blockchain provide in business-to-business collaborations?
  • Instant access to all transactions (all of which have been vetted and are inalterable), resulting in increased trust between parties.
  • In addition, protocols can often eliminate the need for third party intermediaries.
  1. What property of a blockchain does the name “Permissionless” refer to?
  • The permissionless network must be decentralized to ensure that no central authority can alter past transactions, change access rules, or shut the network down.
  • Anyone can interact with the network, submit transactions, and hold private keys to their own wallets.
  • Likewise, anyone can run a node on the network and anyone can employ mining or staking protocols.
  • Generally, some sort of user-incentivizing is required to process and accept new blocks.
  • Finally, since anyone has the same access rights as another, there is no sense of access hierarchy or permissioning, so user anonymity must exist (though transactions can ultimately be traced via IP addresses).
  1. What are 3 examples of permissionless blockchains?
  • Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS
  1. Who are allowed to join a permissioned blockchain network?
  • Whomever the owner(s) of the network deem worthy.
  1. Why do you think permissioned blockchain networks are preferred by many companies?
  • Companies work with proprietary and confidential information, and do not want said information to be exposed to the public. Even within a company, there needs to be a hierarchy and control structure over who sees what. For example, employee SSNs or health records should be strictly controlled per legal mandates.
  • Companies also do not want to be held back by non-interested parties when they want to make changes to their operations.
  • Furthermore, private networks are typically faster and easier to maintain
  • Private networks and designed for and are dedicated specifically to company related business.
  • A private network also avoids the risk of unexpected changes being made to the network by a majority of outside parties, while also allowing for changes to be easily made when the business so desires.

  5. Many private blockchains store an extensive amount of data relating to the transactions, and operations carried out by users, so it could be dangerous if such a data would be visible for public as it is in permissionless blockchain

  1. Blockchain removes the need for 3rd parties, which increases speed and lowers costs. Since the data can’t be changed, it also removes the need for trust and the involved parties can instead trust the technology. There’s also increased security and transparency which can be beneficial to all parties.

  2. It shows how decentralized the blockchain is.

  3. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin

  4. Only people/entities approved by the controlling organization can join a permissioned blockchain network.

  5. It’s more of a controlled environment where you get many of the pros of blockchain tech without the perceived negative sides. With permissionless blockchain networks it’s incredibly difficult to make changes, since you need 50%+1 of the entire community to make any changes to the code and people generally have different opinions on some matters. This problem disappears when a company has control over the changes and functions. As a customer you just need to have trust in the company.
